STORY OF THE DAY

"Among the more wrenching claims: On Dec. 29, 2006, the night before Paula Parmeter, 37, and son Ryan were found dead of carbon-monoxide poisoning, Tim Parmeter was with his teenage paramour."

April 14, 2008 - Eastern Arizona College basketball coach Tim Parmeter, 37, was arrested on a charge of sexual conduct with a minor. A former student, now 18, alleges that she and Parmeter had numerous sexual relations at various places, including his home and his school office. The relationship lasted two years and began when she was 16.

He has been under investigation for some months. Investigators recorded a phone conversation between Parmeter and his accuser and then a meeting between the two at the coach's office. He was fired Jan 17.

He filed for divorce from his wife in December 2006. His wife committed suicide along with killing their 2-year-old son . At the time Parmeter portrayed himself as another victim of a deranged wife in a touching story of his valor for carrying on after the deaths. That story and others generated a lot of sympathy.

Paula and Ryan were in the back seat of a black Volvo. The boy lay on the floor, wrapped in a blue blanket, with stuffed animals and toys beside him. The garage door was closed, with blankets stuffed into cracks. The car ignition was on, but it had stopped running when the gas tank ran empty.

There was a camera on the seat. The last photograph showed Ryan standing inside the car, still conscious, but his lips apparently had reddened from carbon-monoxide exposure.

Paula Parmeter had written and sent suicide notes to her husband, family members and friends.

Shamelessly, Parmeter shared his wife's suicide note with the CBS reporter for the story that pictures a eerily-grinning photo of the reporter at the top that's completely inappropriate considering the subject matter. Parmeter even provided a picture of him with his son posing in front of a stadium for the article.
